That would have been great. I was really bummed out that they didn't bring back Ravenous Mileena's chain grabs back from MKX at all either. In fact, there were a lot of neat MKX moves/variations that I wish had stayed a part of the characters' movesets.

My guess is it's just more of a player retention thing. Make it a major grind to make sure you keep coming back so they can keep advertising to you, and continue to increase the chance of you buying something from the store.

Same here, unfortunately. The main reason I hadn't uninstalled yet was because I was waiting for the Mileena season since she's one of my mains, but it's just garbage. I must say, if you had told the me of last year that I would play LESS MK1 than MK11, I would have been absolutely...

I'd like, assuming there is a competent writing team, for them to just pretend that everything starting from MK9 never happened and go right back to the story during Armageddon. Those are the characters and story threads that people love and want to see. And by people, I mean me.

When it comes to MK's story, it was in a pretty big lose-lose situation where the series had gone on for long enough that it appeared to be becoming more and more difficult to write characters, specifically the oldest ones, in new and interesting ways. If you want to tell a good story, then it's...

Really want to try out Tekken 8, but games are too expensive these days for me to buy each one on release. Based on what I'm hearing though, it seems I should have saved my MK1 money for this instead.

I remember an interview with Boon before MKX was released where he was asked about where the story would go after MKX since it was 30 years in the future and everyone was old, and his response was something like, "Haha, we actually haven't thought that far ahead yet, but we'll cross that bridge...

There are a lot of flaws with the way story mode is currently handled (the chapters system being the main offender), but it's nothing some actual good writing couldn't fix. Considering the poll that Ed Boon did recently, I wouldn't be surprised if NRS pivoted back to a Konquest Mode in MK13...

Looking back on it, it's funny how everyone (myself included) was like, "WTF is up with NRS's marketing?" when the reality was there was actually nothing to market in the game. It's a fighting game with a basic story mode and bare-bones online functionality. Other than Invasions Mode, which is a...

Definitely going to be trying out Quan-Chi. Just please give me his MK4 outfit and don't try to make me pay $10 for it.

I'm pretty sure others have mentioned this before, but I feel like Johnny and Ashrah suffer from the same issue which is that they are top tier characters with a gimmick that rarely gets used. So they're in this weird spot where I want them to get changed so there can be more incentive to get...

I've actually stopped doing brutalities as well just because I find them really boring in this game since there is no skill involved or thought required to do them anymore. I liked brutalities not only because of their quickness, but because for many of them, it was something you had to make a...

Reading through this thread (and some others), the situation with NRS and the competitive scene really reminds me of the relationship between Konami and the competitive Yu-Gi-Oh! scene which I have followed since forever. I remember constantly hearing about just how much Konami hates the...

How does Sub-Zero pair with Frost? Can you get any decent Ice Orb setups with the two of them? Was thinking of trying out team Cryomancer eventually.

Probably just another casualty of the disaster that is Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.

So, does anyone have any idea which character works best with Frost? I'd like to try learning a character that actually wants Frost as a kameo fighter.

I got the Shang Tsung one with my preorder crystals because I didn't realize that it was actually $10 worth of crystals, nor did I know that dragon crystals were pretty much impossible to accumulate in-game. Sadly, I'm not too impressed by his voice either, so I think it was a waste. Would...

Probably set aside to give to Homelander instead.

How so?

Are the kombat league skins available in the shrine or do I really have to grind the Omni-Man/Kung-Lao DP simulator all month to get them?
